A true craftsman, John takes exquisite pride in his drinks.  He
gathers the sometimes rare and hard to find ingredients and then
begins the magic: crushing fruit and herbs, adding top shelf spirits
and shaking or stirring the elements into an aromatic blend of flavors
the likes of which you’ve never experienced unless you’ve been
fortunate enough to attend a
private party at which John has been in
charge of the libations.
Unlike traditional bartenders, John forges his relationships with
customers through his drinks.  Showing an obsessive knowledge
of obscure recipes and using hard to find ingredients and methods
of preparation long-forgotten, John creates truly extraordinary
cocktails that keep clients coming back.
